What Did He Tell Him

NA JAEMIN P. O. V.

After running around for low-key ten minutes, I saw Donghyuck walk out of a room, smirking to himself.

I rushed to the room he came out and kicked the door open.

Jeno was leaning against a desk, seeming deeply in thoughts.

He didn't look up until I stepped closely in front of him.

Jeno stared blankly at me, like I wasn't there, but stepped aside as he obviously woke up from his hypnosis.

I looked at him with a confused expression and he just cleared his throat.

"Hey... are you alright?" I asked, obviously worried .

But he just nodded and made his way to the door, plainly wanting to leave this room as soon as possible.

I gulped edgy before running to him and grabbing his wrist.

Jeno turned around startled.

We stare at each other for a while until Jeno aggressively pulled his hand to him and I had to let go, pretty much impressed of his strength.

He took advantage of the moment of my hesitation and ran out of the room into the hallway, which still was overfilled.

I kicked the wall in frustration and afterwards leaned on it.

I sighed and closed my eyes.

What did Donghyuck tell him, that he's been acting like this?

I heard the bell ring and kicked the wall one last time before I made my way  to the classroom.

The day passed, and he ignored me until the bell rang for the end of the last lesson.

I hurried to pack my things first.

"Jaemin-ssi..." I heard Jeno say shyly.

I turned to him, hope creeping up my chest. "Y-Yes?" I said agitated.

"We... can't meet today for the project..." he said, not looking up.

My shoulders somehow felt extremely heavy and they sank forward.

"Oh... w-why?" I asked visibly sorrowful. 

I heard him gulp before answering. "Uh.... I've some things to do..." he said still not looking up.

"O-Oh... ok..." I said quiet. "See you tomorrow then..." 

I went out with my head hanging down and my shoulders bent forward.

Endless mournfulness spread through my whole body.

I had no idea why he was acting like that.

It's probably all Donghyuck's fault. He told Jeno something about me that made him act this way towards me.

The next day was announced by my alarm at 8am.

I didn't hear it, not because I was still sleeping, but because I was long before that up.

I didn't sleep all night to be exact.

I had so many thoughts on my mind that wandered around, without knowing how they came and how they went.

I was standing in the bathroom in front of the sink, looking at myself in the mirror.

My hair was messy, the pastel pink already vanishing, making me now blonde.

Dark circles began to form under my eyes.

I washed my face with cold water and brushed my teeth afterwards.

I had zero desire to go to school and I really had the thought of skipping today, but something told me to go anyway.

As I arrived in school, I saw Jeno entering our still empty classroom.

Immediately I followed inside, closing the door behind me.

Jeno turned around in surprise, but his surprise changed to scare and he took a few steps backwards.

I walked towards him until he was trapped in the corner.

I braced my arms against the wall and leaned close to his face, and god, it cost me so much effort not to blush or anything.

He now looked even more frightened than a few seconds ago.

Jeno gulped and I looked at how his adam's apple got up and then back down again.

"What did he tell you?" I asked lowering my voice and leaning in even more, our noses almost touching.
